"Get back in the hut"
As our skipper would say. Our perhaps kennel in your case Jeff.

It's hutch. Get back in the hutch.
Your skipper is a FOOL. But we'd previously established this, I believe.

Well yes, he is. Most captains are.
My lad played for us on Sunday for the 1st time. He scored 6 not out. He was brilliant. I was so proud of him.

Superb!
How old is he?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 8 Jun 2011, 10:18, Reply)

He's 13. He's only had about 4 or 5 goes in the nets
and this was his first game. So much to try to teach him, there's only so much you can pass on in the nets though. Most of the learning is on the job, and you never stop learning.

He fielded really well as well. He was wearing my old whites, and they were only slightly too big for him, but you would hardly notice.

The skipper was full of praise for him - as well he should be, he scored 6 more runs than he did!

Hahaha!
Good stuff, that'll keep you busy for a few years then mate

I hope so, but he's at his mother's every other weekend and he plays a lot of other sports as well
But I'll try to drag him along as much as I can.

So what's new with you? How often you running these days? Is it a full marathon that you're training for?
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Wed 8 Jun 2011, 10:36, Reply)

Did 9 miles this morning as it happens
I'm training for a half marathon this year for sure, and whether or not I end up doing a full one depends on how lucky I am with the ballot for the London 2012 marathon. Ms Foxtrot has put in for it too, but she is fucking dreading being selected!

Well I think we can all guess what's going to happen
Darth - unsuccessful, Mrs Darth - oh shit.

So will she actually go ahead with it if she's successful? Or will you be donning a blonde wig and comedy breasts to take her place for the event?
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Wed 8 Jun 2011, 10:42, Reply)

Hahaha... NO
If we both get in, she'll work fucking hard so we can do it together. If it's just me, I'll give it a go. Just her, and she'll skip the country for the whole of April

That's a disgraceful attitude
If she gets in on her own she should just go for it. Who am I kidding, I'd run a fecking mile. Just one though - another 25 would be ridiculous.

I can't really fathom long distance runners. There's a guy who plays five-a-sides with us who does marathons - he's out running all the time, at the gym etc, obsessed. However, he runs the length of the hall at fives and he's bent over wheezing like Monty first thing in the morning. What's that all about?
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Wed 8 Jun 2011, 10:48, Reply)

Belting down a hall is a different prospect from running long-distance at your own pace
but nonetheless, if he can run a marathon he should be fitter than that.

I have little interest in long distance running per se, but would quite like to have a marathon under my belt. I'm just doing it to lose weight

Ah I see
I'd maybe give a 5 or a 10K a shot, but essentially running bores the hell out of me. This is my main problem.

I'd rather play cricket, footie, basketball etc, and occasional trips to the gym.
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Wed 8 Jun 2011, 11:04, Reply)

I quite agree, in principle
but the gym costs money and team sports require a team!

The keys to enjoying a run are good tunes, nice scenery and sunshine.

I live in Scotland, so 2 out of 3 of those are off the agenda!

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Wed 8 Jun 2011, 11:14, Reply)

Nonsense
Scotland has some good bands...

*struggles to think of good Scottish band*

You can listen to non-Scottish bands!
